STCG will deliver green accredited and non-accredited courses to support the Regional and National green skills gap and agenda, providing a critical skill boost that will benefit employers, individuals, and the wider economy. We will coordinate, support, engage and collaborate with employers, SLP Green Academy objectives and delivery partners to deliver a portfolio of Green accredited and non-accredited courses. 

Stella Raphael-Reeves, Vice principal, STCG commented: “The climate crisis is no longer a problem for the future, and we urgently need the skills to tackle it. We realise the importance of the environment and sustainability in the modern world and introducing a number of green skills training courses will help to provide the right people with the right skills for the future of the economy.”
